SonicMovie2 director Jeff Fowler opens up about how he's broken the video game movie curse with both films. 'I think the trick to making movies based off of video games is to completely forget that you’re making a movie based off a video game.'
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 director Jeff Fowler opens up about how he sought to break the video game movie curse in his approach with the sequel. Fowler got his rise in the film industry in the field of animation, having worked as an animator for the 2003 short film Rockfish and writing and directing the Oscar-nominated short Gopher Broke.
The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will pick up sometime after the events of its predecessor as Dr. Eggman returns from the mushroom planet with the help of Knuckles the Echidna searching for the powerful Master Emerald, requiring the titular speedster to team up with new friend Tails to stop them.
"I think the trick to making movies based off of video games is to completely forget that you’re making a movie based off a video game. Because I think all movies are about character no matter where they come from.
The video game movie curse goes all the way back to the first ever live-action adaptation of a game in the form of Super Mario Bros., which was a critical and commercial bomb upon its 1993 release.
Though Sonic the Hedgehog 2's current Rotten Tomatoes score sits slightly below its predecessor's, its close proximity to a"Fresh" rating on the review aggregate does point towards director Jeff Fowler having a solid understanding of delivering a competent film as much as an entertaining video game adaptation.
